âAnchisa kept my dog Walter for doggy day care on my long work days. I am completely pleased and so happy we found her! From time of booking throughout his whole stay her communication is excellent with updates and pics! He is no longer nervous when I get ready for work since he knows he will be seeing her. I would trust her completely for boarding if I leave town as well. I am so grateful we found you!â

âNasreddine and her bf were friendly and efficient with the drop off and return! Both dogs only stayed a couple hours but seemed to enjoy their time with their hosts! Above all, Nasreddine was SO understanding, flexible, and accommodating. My dogs escaped that morning and it was a flurry of whether I needed to cancel or not. Luckily, they came back after their little adventure and Nasreddine was happy to watch them even after all the chaos. Thank yooou!!â

About: As a dedicated and experienced pet sitter, I am passionate about providing the best care possible for all types of pups. As a specialized pet sitter for bully breeds and small dogs, I understand the unique needs and quirks of these adorable dogs. With years of experience and a deep love for all things pup, I am committed to providing the highest level of care and attention to your furry friend. Everything from numerous short walks and playtime (temperature permitting) to feeding and medication administration, you can trust me to provide reliable and compassionate care for your dog. I am dedicated to ensuring your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you're away. My home has ramps to access all furniture and gates to prevent pups from running up and down stairs to protect their spines and potential IVDD flare ups. Our morning starts off with a walk around the neighborhood, then itâs breakfast time which means training and play with positive reinforcement! Your pup then has playtime with toys and with my dog Penelope if they are up for it or can snooze away. We then take a quick walk during lunch to stretch our legs and say hi to our friends at Rockyâs. After work we love to be in nature and hit the trails or parks to get some steps in! After dinner I love nothing more than to cuddle with the pups on my couch before bed! We have an outdoor deck that the dogs always have access to. Mostly serves as a sunbathing lounge đ. The deck is also equipped with grass patches for easy potty breaks. Your pup with have the company of my dog, Penelope. She is a playful and well behaved French bulldog. I have a robust routine for her to keep her healthy and prevent her from being affected from her predisposed IVDD. I can easily incorporate any special needs or request that your day may need.
âVJ and Matthew took amazing care of my dog Willa! They were so communicative and sent lots of pictures and videos. Willa seemed to have a great time with their dogs and feel comfortable despite her anxiety. Will definitely be booking again!â


âThanks Sophie for taking good care of our dog Hobbes! We had Sophie watch Hobbes while we attended a concert in Berkeley. We had drinks at a spot in Oakland beforehand and her place was a quick stop on the way to the venue. Hobbes seemed to have a blast playing while there. She shared some photos which was a nice touch. We will gladly reach out again if we need pet sitting in the area.â

About: Iâve been lucky to grow up surrounded by both dogs and cats, and I canât remember a time when there wasnât at least one furry friend in my home. My pup, Ray Charles, and I truly enjoy the company of dogs of all sizes and personalities and foster on the side as well. I personally used Rover for my pup when I traveled for work so I treat every sitting as if it were my own pup. From outdoor exercise, park playtime, and lots of frequent updates, I will ensure your pup is having a lovely time and you have peace of mind! To make sure everyone is comfortable, I like to arrange a friendly meet-and-greet before we set anything in stone! I work remote and have a lot of flexibility of schedule. Ray Charles and I spend our days exploring the beautiful parks and trails of the East Bayâand weâd be thrilled to have your pup join us for some fun walks and fresh air! Ray and I live in a cozy but spacious one-bedroom with a backyard, perched at the top of a hill in a safe, peaceful neighborhood thatâs perfect for walks and outdoor play.
âMeagan was wonderful! We had a last-minute need for care on Thanksgiving for Rory, our 6-month-old Husky mix, and Meagan really helped us out. We scheduled a meet and greet for the prior Sunday so that Rory could meet the other doggo friends she'd be spending the day with. Rory loved sniffing around the backyard and eating plants (sorry!!). Meagan watched her all day on Thanksgiving, and based on the photos she shared, Rory clearly had a blast! We're really grateful for the care that day, and to have such a great option for future care. Thanks, Meagan!â

About: I managed a pet sitting service for 4 years with more than 400 clients and owned my own pet sitting service for 2 years, providing above and beyond pet care: dog walking, boarding, overnight house sitting, cat sitting, and other small pet care. I also take great pictures of your pets and provide detailed notes while you're away! As a pet owner myself, I know first hand how hard it is to leave your pets at home. If I am to stay at your home, I can also take care of daily house duties like rotating lights, bringing in mail/packages, and watering plants. (I'm a skilled plant owner as well!) I'm trained in pet CPR and first aid and am skilled at recognizing dog behavioral cues. While I'm not a trainer, I'm happy to work with your dog on existing commands and basic commands. I have a very flexible, remote job and will prioritize your pet and it's needs! I take my own dog for hikes, and play dates 3-4 times a week (on top of regular walks!) and look forward to having your dog join our pack! I have a dog of my own who loves to play. Ideally, Panda can come stay with me in your home or your dog must get along with mine. I do provide a crate should your dog prefer that in my home.
âTara and her family were so good to my boy Skye. I could tell that he had an amazing time with them. They are so accommodating and kept me updated throughout the day; made me feel at ease while Iâm away from him. They were so patient with Skye and followed all the directions we provided regarding his care. I highly recommend and will definitely use their services again.â

About: I'm a very responsible middle-aged woman who works from home and would be happy to care for your fur baby. Eventually I'll get a dog of my own! Our household consists of me and my partner, Rocky. We both grew up with pets, but currently don't have any. I work about 15-25 hours a week from home so I have plenty of time throughout the day for walks around the neighborhood and trips to the Alameda dog park. My partner and I are homebodies and enjoy spending time working on our house and gardening. I have a fenced in yard and several rooms of my house can be sectioned off to allow for large spaces to hang out, if the dog needs it's own space. I also have plenty of room to set up a crate. I do not have any pets. I would love to get a dog, but I travel to Vancouver 4 times a year to visit my mom in long term care and occasionally I have to travel for a week or more for work and I don't want to leave a pet for that long. My partner goes to the office Monday - Friday.
âAman was excellent with Deuce. He came back happy, excited, and ready to play. He sent me a pic of Deuce while in his care, and gave me updates during his time there. Iâd definitely book with Aman again. He was pleasant, polite, and kept me updated. Great vibes all around.â

âBaxter has stayed Andrea and her pups twice for daycare, with hopefully more days to come! Andrea has a gentle, kind spirit and seems very attuned to a dog's needs. At our meet & greet, she asked great questions about Baxter and his routines. She provided fun updates with pics a few times a day -- much appreciated!â


âTaylor is fantastic. I was in town for work with my wee guy and she took care of him during the times I couldn't have him with me. Rowlf and Taylor made a fast friends. They played and walked and cuddled, she took tons of pics and kept me up to date about their time together, and really supported me while I was working. I'm so grateful I found her. Taylor is super friendly, thorough, and loving. It can be so hard for all of us to trust the care of our babies to a stranger. You can't go wrong here!â

âWeâve done vacation boarding, but suddenly needed some day care when we were having workers in the house. Anthony and Nikita kindly hosted Bear on short notice, which was much appreciated!â


âLatricia was very sweet with our dog! It's clear that she has a lot of experience with dogs. She sent multiple photos and updates during the day. She also gave us helpful information about his behavior afterwards.â

Lakeshore dog parents share their Rover experiences
We have a really shy/sensitive mini-Aussie doodle whoâs nervous around new people. Anchisa and her partner Michael were so so kind to let us visit with them before booking to âtest the watersâ. We were so genuinely surprised at how quickly our pup settled in! Weâve already booked for a second sitting session! Thanks so much â¤ď¸

Alexandra was a lifesaver! She was able to watch my two dogs last minute while I went out to dinner with my family, and I couldnât be more grateful. Since I donât live in Alameda, it was really important for me to find someone I felt completely comfortable withâand Alexandra exceeded all expectations. My girls came back happy and content, which tells me they received all the love and attention they deserve. Alexandra is super friendly, kind, and genuinely a good person. I only wish I had someone like her where I live. I wouldnât hesitate to recommend her to anyone!

Teena was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Thomas. From the start, she was prompt, professional, and communicated clearly, which made the whole experience stress-free. She took Thomas on multiple walks and sent a detailed report about his day, which we really appreciated. Her dog, Adobe, is incredibly well-mannered and was such a positive influence. It was great for Thomas to have that socialization with such a calm, well-behaved dog. You can tell Teena genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. Thomas was happy, well-exercised, and clearly comfortable in her care. I would absolutely recommend Teena to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and caring dog sitter.

Nasreddine and her bf were friendly and efficient with the drop off and return! Both dogs only stayed a couple hours but seemed to enjoy their time with their hosts! Above all, Nasreddine was SO understanding, flexible, and accommodating. My dogs escaped that morning and it was a flurry of whether I needed to cancel or not. Luckily, they came back after their little adventure and Nasreddine was happy to watch them even after all the chaos. Thank yooou!!

Matthew and VJ have taken amazing care of my dog. She adjusted quickly to their home and their dogs got along very well with her. Theyâre so sweet and communicative, sending many pictures. I feel at peace with her in daycare with them knowing sheâs in good hands!

Jason and his wife are some of the nicest people. They took good care of my pups during their stay. Kept me updated and very accommodating. I ran into some last minute work situations on the day of my pups' stay and was going to be late to our agreed and planned pick up time. Jason accommodated to my late arrival request and assured me the pups will be well taken care of in the extra hour. Will definitely come back should I ever need a sitter again!

Yeon Soo took great care of Remi during a very busy day. Remi can be sensitive in stimulating environments, and she handled him with patience and calm. She sent lots of photos and updates throughout the day, which I really appreciated and found reassuring. Iâm very grateful for her care and would happily recommend her.
